• The truth is there ain't no relationship in the world that doesn't hit turbulence.
  • And that's when I know it's over. As soon as you start thinking about the beginning, it's the end.
  • Sometimes I could grab her and pull her back on the couch, and we'd stay there a long time, me waiting for her to fall in love with me, her waiting for whatever, but other times she'd be serious.
  • You are overwhelmed by a pelagic darknes. Sadness at being caught, at the inconvertible knowledge that she will never forgive you.
  • I watch her for a long time and then I ask her what's wrong, and she says, What isn't wrong?
  • It is probably her son she misses, or the father. Or our whole country, which you never think of until it's gone, which you never love until you're no longer there.
  • A person doesn't mourn forever.
  • Ana Iris once asked me if I loved him and I told her about the lights in my old home in the capital, how they flickered and you never knew if they would go out or not. You put down your things and you waited and couldn't do anything really until the lights decided. This, I told her, is how I feel.
  • This is what I know: people's hopes go on forever.
  • We didn't know it was the last days but we should have.
  • The half-life of love is forever.
